Equal Weight

Reason

Morgan Stanley lowered the firm's price target on Oracle to $213 from $320 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. GPU-as-a-Service is "a sizable revenue opportunity," but the firm's work suggests the buildout will push Oracle EPS below targets and drive materially higher funding needs, the analyst says. The firm struggles to see a viable path to Oracle's EPS targets, which is a view factored into the current share price and reduced price target, the analyst tells investors. Meanwhile, even after underperformance, the firm thinks key risks, including its own new higher forecasts for funding needs and leverage, are not reflected in spreads from the credit perspective, so it recommends buying CDS and selling benchmark bonds, the analyst added.

Reason

Guggenheim contends that Oracle will likely maintain its investment grade credit rating, even as capex ramps up earlier than the Street and the bond rating agencies expect, and argues that Oracle remains "the best opportunity in the Software sector." The firm believes "even more strongly" that this is a "decade stock" that will grow EPS at hyper rates, and free cash flow will "eventually waterfall into very significant numbers," but investors will have to wait for that to happen. While "we keep calling this a decade stock (because we believe it is), we expect the numbers to be irrefutable in half that time and be obvious long before that," adds the analyst, who notes that Oracle remains his Best Idea with a $400 price target and Buy rating.

Reason

UBS lowered the firm's price target on Oracle to $280 from $325. Oracle's 41% drop from mid-September highs reflects investor concerns about its outlook and OpenAI's impact on related stocks, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Despite this, UBS reaffirms its Buy rating given pending revenue growth, the ramp of Abilene data center capacity, potential reversal of cautious OpenAI sentiment in 1H26, and largely embedded credit/financing risks.

Reason

RBC Capital analyst Rishi Jaluria lowered the firm's price target on Oracle to $195 from $250 and keeps a Sector Perform rating on the shares. 2026 is likely to be a year when AI tailwinds become more evident for companies well positioned for enterprise AI adoption, while less prepared peers may remain pressured by the "AI is the death of software" narrative, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Enterprise spending appears to be stabilizing and improving in select areas, with GenAI driving innovation even as management teams remain conservative in early 2026 guidance, the firm says.
